How to get post ID of the current page/post inside a widget?

by

I’m trying hard to get the post ID of the current post/page inside a widget class but doesn’t work, I know there’s get_the_ID() and some other options but not a single works inside a widget. Here’s my code:

public function widget( $args, $instance ) {


   global $wp_query;

   $thePostID = $wp_query->post->ID;
   echo 'Post ID is:' . $thePostID;

}

4 s

You can make use of get_queried_object() here, which is a wrapper for $wp_query and returns the whole post metadata.

Here’s a sample code:

$queried_object = get_queried_object();

if ( $queried_object ) {
    $post_id = $queried_object->ID;
    echo $post_id;
}
